25 years ago my parents received shares in a UK bank that merged with their building-society. The shares tanked 90% during the global financial crises and haven't recovered since. This is there main reason for not investing into stocks...

My SWC shares have dropped out of my HL ISA and SIPP portfolio. I assume it’s temporary whilst the changeover to the LSE takes place. Any thoughts?

What will an announcement to join the LSE likely do to the #SWC price whilst still listed on Aquis? Any thoughts?

Good morning, Smarters In just six trading days since 4th November, the share price has risen 30%, pushing our MNAV to 1.10. We are now right on the borderline for the ATM to run, and we need your help! Some people will say that retail investors can’t influence the share price. I disagree. Seek out the strongest posts. Comment, like, and repost. As a community of 4,500, we can spread the word far and wide. We can help @asjwebley and @Croesus_BTC drive the recovery and put ourselves in pole position. Every little helps. Have a great day, everyone. šŸš€ #SWC #TSWCF #SmarterWeb #Bitcoin #BTC #3M8 #HODL #BuyTheDip #Smarter7amCrew

Featured on This Is Money podcast, Mr Perry became an ISA millionaire on the back of some smart dealing in SWC shares. Maybe he would become richer if he’d held on longer growth šŸ™‚

I have decided to stop looking at the SP. I might look again on Christmas Day, so in the meantime - no spoilers šŸ™‚

For nearly 50 years @Motability has given back mobility to disabled people. Founded by Lords Goodman and Sterling under the finest disability Minister we have had, Alf Morris. It uses the benefit he created to lease cars. I have never known this scheme so under ignorant attack.

Morningstar just proved what we suspected: tactical allocation fund managers who constantly adjust portfolios would have earned investors nearly 4 percentage points per year MORE if they'd gone fishing instead. šŸŽ£ Jeffrey Ptak tested tactical funds vs a "do-nothing" index portfolio over 10 years. The lazy approach beat active management by nearly 4% annually. The lesson: Markets reward patience, not predictions. Sometimes the most productive thing you can do is absolutely nothing. ā°šŸ’ø Stop paying fees for activity that hurts returns. #DoNothingInvesting #BehaviouralFinance #EvidenceBasedInvesting @IFAdotcom

Capitalism would work better if it was a bit more socialist. Socialism would work better if it was a bit more capitalist.

Amid all the stuff about ā€˜dangerous London’ and ā€˜broken Britain’, new figures show the homicide rate in London is at a 10-year low. Killings dropped by 26% over the last year, from 78 to 58. No one under 25 was murdered during the school summer holidays.

Down 13% today, I keep saying this, buying opportunity? I’m down so much now - but invested less than 3% of my portfolio in SWC so can afford to forget this, feel for the nerves of anyone who went all in expecting a quick return. I’m in it for the long term, I have faith šŸ™‚ šŸš€
